There was a blur in the air for a moment, and the elder appeared next to Dao Ba. He squatted down for a little inspection, stood up without moving, and scanned the whole place. Everyone seemed to feel something, and they all held their breath and stared at the elder closely.
Under the spotlight, the elder's eyes fell on Lin Yu. He looked at the latter for a long time, and finally nodded slowly and said, "You win!"
The elder¡¯s voice was not loud, but it had a powerful penetrating power that spread throughout the square. After a brief silence, the whole square burst into a roar of noise. The sound soared into the sky and spread almost throughout the entire ancient pagoda city.
"The fruits of the winner are very rich." The elder smiled and raised his hand, several items flew over, but there was a moment of hesitation when he waved the last item.
Lin Yu remained calm as he put away several items, even the last one. There was only one scroll left in his hand, which was the earth-level soul martial skill - Disillusionment.
After pondering for a moment, he turned his palm over and put it away. At this time, the expected voice rang in his ears, "Lin Yu, do you want to sell the space shuttle? In terms of price, we will never treat you badly."
"Sorry!" Lin Yu smiled apologetically and replied via voice transmission.
"It's okay, I just hope that if you want to sell, just remember us." The elder smiled slightly. Before the competition started, he had already guessed that this would be the result, whether Lin Yu got it in the end, or whether If the sword tyrants get it, they will not sell it, or they will in the future, but at least, not now.
Dao Ba woke up, his expression was as usual, except that his face was slightly pale, it was impossible to tell that there had been a fight just now, and he lost as the final result.
He bowed to the elder, then glanced at Lin Yu indifferently, and walked towards the arena without speaking. When he lost this fight, he not only lost the face of the master of the Divine Sword Sect, but also lost a precious scroll.
However, while losing these things, he also gained something that money and treasures cannot buy. This kind of thing is called experience, and he also faintly felt that there was some mysterious throbbing in his body.
This is a precursor to a breakthrough, so the most important thing for him now is to find a quiet place, then fully understand the gains from this battle, and advance to the fifth stage of the Imperial Stage.
The elder noticed the change in Dao Ba's aura, and a flash of surprise flashed across his face, but he quickly recovered, stopped Dao Ba and said, "In three days, let's gather at the meeting hall!"
Everyone knows what kind of place the meeting hall is. It is a place for discussing matters, and they also know that if nothing happens, this hall will never be opened.
Dao Ba left without even stopping for a moment. Looking at his leaving figure, the elder didn't know what he thought of and let out an inexplicable sigh. But he quickly recovered, turned to look at Lin Yu, and said slowly: " Come to the meeting hall in three days!"
When Lin Yu heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and his eyes glanced at Dao Ba's leaving figure. His move was so subtle that ordinary people couldn't even notice it, but it was discovered by the elder.
"Originally, the time was set for today, but Dao Ba is facing a breakthrough and you also need a good rest, so we postponed it for three days." As if he guessed what Lin Yu was thinking, the elder smiled and nodded.
Lin Yu was silent. After a moment, he bowed to the elder and said slowly: "I will go to the meeting hall in three days."
His eyes swept across the audience, pausing on the little girl's face. Lin Yu also walked towards the arena, not in the same direction as Dao Ba. Dao Ba needed to quietly comprehend, but he wanted to go up the stairs to the sky.
"Senate Hall!" Lin Yu murmured.
Regarding the statement, he also heard some and knows that opening the discussion hall, which means that something happened. As for what happened, he didn't care. He only knew that the most important thing now is to recover as soon as possible.
Three days, under normal circumstances, is enough for him to recover to his peak state, but he is not satisfied with just recovering. He wants to use the powerful pressure of the Stairway to the Sky to take himself to the next level.
Soon, he came to the bottom of the Stairway to the Sky. After a simple registration, he walked to the first step and looked up. The misty clouds gave people a strange feeling. The end of the Stairway to the Sky seemed to be the pinnacle of heaven and earth. , but it¡¯s a pity that no one has ever been able to go up.
Lin Yu shook his head slightly, got rid of these messy thoughts, and raised his feet to step towards the stairs to the sky
Time passed, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past three days, Lin Yu did not practice hard. He only stabilized his body's breakthrough during the recovery process. And after this battle, he had a faint feeling that his cultivation level was about to break through again.
However, this is just a feeling. Based on his past experience, if no accident occurs, he will be able to achieve a breakthrough in about a month.??
Early that morning, Lin Yu slowly opened his eyes and looked around. There were more than a dozen people practicing hard on the steps, but these people all seemed to know him, sitting cross-legged on the other side of the steps.
Lin Yu looked calm and stood up slowly. At this moment, he keenly felt that there were subtle changes in the breaths of the dozen or so people on the other side of the steps. As if he didn't notice anything, he stepped down the stairs to the sky. Just as he was about to leave the steps, he keenly felt that all those people were relieved.
Shaking his head and smiling helplessly, Lin Yu quickly walked down the stairs to the sky without stopping. After paying the fee, he walked towards the assembly hall.
The meeting hall is very large, even bigger than his private courtyard. It is very simple inside, with no extra decorations and neatly arranged tables and chairs. It looks a bit empty.
Originally, Lin Yu thought he had arrived early, but when he got here, he discovered that there were others earlier than him, or that these people were simply staying here for the night.
It was the same four elders who felt someone coming in. They all opened their eyes, nodded slightly, and then closed them again. They didn't know whether they were guarding their energy and recuperating their minds, or racing against time to practice.
However, all of this had nothing to do with Lin Yu. After clasping his fists and saluting, he did not speak. He casually walked to a corner of the meeting hall and slowly closed his eyes.
Time flies, the major leaders arrive one after another, and soon they gather together.
As the familiar yet unfamiliar breath approached, Lin Yu frowned slightly, but soon relaxed, opened his eyes slowly, and looked towards the breath.
"We meet again!" Tantai Mingyue walked to Lin Yu, sat down next to him, turned her head and looked over, with a hint of brilliance in her eyes.
"You are a student of the Inner Academy. I really didn't expect that But didn't it mean that students of the Inner Academy can't leave for a long time? How come you are okay running around all over the continent?" Lin Yu pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly.
"I am a doctor by profession!" Tantai Mingyue blinked and said.
When Lin Yu heard this, he was silent for a while. He didn't understand why the profession of a doctor was related to leaving the inner hospital. But at this time, Tantai Mingyue seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and continued: "This ancient pagoda city can improve my strength, and there is also a lot of medical knowledge for me to learn, but if I can only learn but not apply, then learning What¡¯s the use of coming?¡±
There is no clear answer in a simple sentence, but the meaning contained in the words is self-evident. Its general meaning is: no matter how much you study, if it is not combined with reality, it will only be empty talk.
Lin Yu was silent again.
The sound of slight footsteps came again, and as two familiar smells approached, Lin Yu's expression moved slightly and he looked up. Tantai Mingyue also made the same move, and when she saw two beautiful women approaching, a strange light flashed in her eyes.
"Are these two people your friends?" Tantai Mingyue did not speak, but the voice reached Lin Yu's ears. Lin Yu's expression did not change, and without even turning his eyes, the voice also passed through: "Yes!"
"Good luck" Tantai Mingyue only said three words, and there seemed to be more words behind it, but due to the arrival of Su Jing and Meng Lin, no sound came out in the end.
Su Jing and Meng Lin glanced at Lin Yu calmly, like ordinary friends, nodded slightly, and then their eyes fell on Tantai Mingyue.
In the next short period of time, Lin Yu had a deeper understanding. Women seemed to be born with a love of talking, and they would always have endless topics to talk about. He heard the affectionate calls of sisters in his ears. He squinted his eyes slightly and simply calmed down.
But even so, he could still feel that hidden glances swept over him from time to time, but he didn't pay attention to them, as if he didn't even notice them, and didn't even open his eyelids.
Not long after, everyone seemed to have arrived. The four elders sat at the main seat. Among them, the elder who presided over the competition three days ago coughed lightly and began to say: "Some of you don't know me yet. Let me introduce myself first, my surname is Lei, you can call me Elder Lei."
Lin Yu had met this elder several times. He remembered that when he first entered the inner courtyard on a pterosaur, he saw one of the two old men. He had met him briefly at that time, and then he could faintly feel that they were following him secretly. , and never saw them again until the competition three days ago, and today.
"And this one" As he spoke, Elder Lei pointed at the old man next to him and said seriously: "This elder's surname is Bu. You can call him Elder Bu!"
Elder Bu looked calm. Hearing Elder Lei introduce himself, he raised his head and scanned the entire crowd. He nodded slightly without a smile, then lowered his eyelids and continued to recuperate.
"Haha, I believe everyone knows that Elder Bu doesn't like words very much, so let's do whatever you want." Seeing this, Elder Lei said with a smile.
??Everyone smiled.
Lin Yu moved his eyes. He also knew this Elder Bu. When he first met him, he was with Elder Lei. That is, when he first got off the pterosaur, he saw the other of the two old men. Bit.
The other two elders left were Elder Wang and Elder Lu who were responsible for recording the finish line during the assessment. Lin Yu naturally knew these two elders.
After the introduction, everyone became quiet, and their eyes fell on the four elders, waiting quietly.
After a slight cough, Elder Lei spoke again: "Basically speaking, our inner courtyard is isolated from the outside world, and most of it cannot be transmitted in. The only thing that concerns the entire continent, or your major families Only then can word of the big event come in."
"These days, I believe you have heard that outside the mainland, that is, within the jurisdiction, there is a Black Sun Island. This Black Sun Island is not big, and there are more than ten thousand people living on it. But nearly three months ago, Not much happened to this Black Sun Island. Tens of thousands of people on the island died. Black Sun Island also sank into the endless sea. What¡¯s more, within a hundred miles of the sunken Black Sun Island, even many sea beasts died. .¡±
"It is also said that when several people went to investigate earlier, they all called it the hell of death. In that sea area, there was almost no sea water. At a glance, they were all corpses of humans and sea beasts. The scene was so horrifying that it was simply It¡¯s the legendary mountain of corpses and sea of ??blood.¡±
"However, in this sea of ??corpses, an extremely strange thing happened to them. In the middle of the sea of ??corpses, where Black Sun Island sank, a huge heavenly gate appeared. How did this heavenly gate appear? And it leads to Where, no one knows, only that this huge gate must be left over from ancient times."
"Of course, there are still many people saying that there is a huge treasure hidden here. As long as you get this treasure, not only will your cultivation level be improved quickly, but you can also take magic pills, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures at your will. And the place that this Heavenly Gate leads to is exactly where the treasure is hidden"
???????????????????????????????????????????????
After a long while, Elder Lei stopped, looked around the crowd, nodded slightly and said: "Okay, I have told you all the information I got. You can tell me first, what are your thoughts on the sudden appearance of Tianmen? ?¡±
After Elder Lei finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while. After a long time, Tianyu, the owner of Sunset Villa, slowly looked around the audience and said in a serious voice: "If this is indeed the case, then this is probably an ancient ruins!"
Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly. They all had the same idea. Only the opening of ancient ruins could create such a horrific scene, and no one or any organization on the continent would be so crazy as to do such a thing.
Sinking the entire island, killing tens of thousands of humans, and countless sea beasts, causing hell on earth. Once it is discovered that this is man-made, there will be no such person or a certain power organization in the world. land.
Of course, if this person's cultivation reaches the legendary god level, or if this power organization can compete with the entire world, then it will be a different matter.
But this thing is obviously impossible. Not to mention that the god-level supreme being at the pinnacle of human cultivation would be bored enough to do such a thing. It is impossible for any power organization to compete with the entire world, and the most important thing is that it sank on the island. There is also a huge heavenly gate that appears inexplicably.
It is this mysterious heavenly gate that allows everyone to know that this is an ancient ruins without too many guesses. As for why it appeared at this time, everyone has some guesses in their hearts. Maybe someone touched some organs, which led to this. The opening of ancient ruins.
However, these people naturally do not include Lin Yu. As for what is going on here, no one knows better than him
"Since you can all be sure that this is an ancient ruin that was opened by a touch, others must be able to imagine it and have more information available And according to the news we have received, this Tianmen does not seem to be that easy to enter. Now it is close to Three months have passed, and no one has been heard of being able to pass through the Heavenly Gate. It has become even more confusing whether that huge Heavenly Gate is the legendary ancient ruins"
Elder Lei said, as if he thought of something, he suddenly stopped and looked at everyone with a smile.
Lin Yu listened, with a faint glint in his eyes. Although no one knew the situation of Tianmen better than him except the other two people present at the time, the matter about Tianmen was vague and unclear. It could even be said that, He simply didn't know anything, and precisely because of this, he still hadn't decided whether to go to where Tianmen was.
The voice that kept passing through my ears suddenly stopped.? Lin Yu looked up and saw Elder Lei looking at them with a warm smile. He couldn't help but look slightly startled, but he quickly recovered.
At this time, Tianyu¡¯s familiar voice came over again: "Lei Changcai, what do you mean"
Elder Lei seemed to know what Tianyu wanted to say. He nodded gently, and immediately turned his eyes to Tantai Mingyue next to Lin Yu. After a pause, he glanced at everyone again, "Tantai Mingyue, the owner of Wuying Building, I believe everyone Do you all know each other?"
Seeing that everyone's expressions were motionless, but their eyes couldn't help but look towards Tantai Mingyue, they couldn't help but nodded with a smile: "Tantai Mingyue, as a student of our inner academy, appears here very rarely during the year. This pair of ordinary students It¡¯s incredible, and you all know some things more or less. Here, I¡¯ll tell you again.¡±
Having said this, Elder Lei paused for a moment, glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "Actually, this is the summary of the matter. That is what Tantai Mingyue believes that everything needs to be combined with the essence, so that not only can you clearly understand yourself , and can also improve oneself faster, whether it is cultivation strength or other aspects."
"And she also proved the feasibility of this matter with her own substantive actions. Even though she rarely appeared in this inner courtyard for a year, let alone the ladder to the sky, it is simply incomparable to you, but her cultivation The speed of improvement is no less than yours, and even much faster than most of you, and this is even when she is working part-time."
"So, after the elders of the inner courtyard decided, except for those who have just entered the new life, everyone needs to travel outside every once in a while. Of course, if you have the ability, you can also extend this travel time, or even like Dan Like Tai Mingyue, but the only condition is that it must be approved by all the elders."
"After talking about it, Elder Lei's face became very serious, and everyone's expressions also became solemn. Then there was silence. Everyone was thinking about the meaning of Elder Lei's words.
Tianyu is relatively cheerful by nature. After coming back to his senses, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit serious. His eyes flashed and he suddenly asked with a smile: "Elder Lei, if you really follow what you said, wouldn't it be a big deal for the students who stayed in this ancient tower city?" Decrease in magnitude?¡±
